I had a similar problem with a Laserjet 4P on an OS2 machine - ascii would
print OK but PS would get scrambled and look like a lot of barcodes. I
was using lpd on the os2 machine. The fix was to move the printer to the
linux machine, and use a program called lprmon on the os2 machines to get
to the printer. There's a similar program for W9x that works quite well:

Try it - it may work for you.
